I think it was favourite not so long ago. I could understand some unease when they had the deluge, but the ground is likely drying with no more rain expected. He is also well positioned close to Hammer The Hammer who will likely lead. I can't imagine the rain was a plus for that one either.

Coming back a little now.
I backed Hammer The Hammer at 17.5/1 at Ascot. I thought he looked vulnerable throughout, and he was eventually run down. That was a stiff 5f on quick ground, today we have 6f on an easy track with a little bit of cut. It didn't look as if he wanted to go much further at Ascot, and of course today you are now being asked to take pretty much a win only price. Unless he underperformed at Ascot I can see a similar scenario. |

Most of the market leaders ran well, except foe Hammer The Hammer and Elmomjed. Hammer The Hammer travelled even worse than Ascot and maybe has had enough. Elmanjed was beaten after a 100 yds. Still Haggas has already landed his two winners so probably not too bothered about this woeful performance.

Market had a view high numbers were best.
Borne out and why the winner attracted all the late money. |

He lost a competitive horse race. Nothing else. And the market suggested to us he would so I suggest the stable knew he would.
Great perf. by the winning trainer in the race itself and fine day for Haggas overall. He most certainly won’t be “woeful”.  |

Race Iq was on tv earlier,
Their deep analysis of draw bias at Goodwood .identified low numbers,mentioning GET IT has having a good chance has its drawn low. Failing to mention it won the race last year drawn highest. They might want to reassess their name race IQ. Maybe race stab in the dark might be a better name. |

Get on
Last today .drawn 27. First 2 drawn 20s. Last year first 2 drawn 28 and 27. Their analysis was wrong,but maybe you can justify it,but don’t use GET ON as your example. They said get on can’t win ,cos high,and low will win. But high won’t and get on won from high last year. like I said,they might want to reassess their name think their name ,race IQ,it ain’t. |
